Another Chance [COMPLETE]

Chapter 23: Regrets...

Justin’s POV

 

(Hello)

“Hello Tita, si Justin po toh. Anjan nap o ba si Cris?”

(Ah, Justin. Teka lang ha? Sugar! Si Jusitn!... Ah, opo…)

(H-Hello…)

“Cris! Buti anjan ka na! Sobra ako nagaalala sayo!”

(Ah, sorry. Busy lang ako kanina…)

“Ganun ba? Ok ka lang ba? May nangyari ba?”

(Nope. I’m fine…)

“Buti naman, sabi ng Tita mo, kasama mo raw si Luki kanina”

(Yeah I was with him…)

“I see… Anong ginawa niyo? Ba’t di mo sinasagot cp mo?”

(We were just hanging out… )

 

Hanging out? Why don’t I believe that? Kung ganun bakit di niya sinagot tawag o text ko?

 

I have a bad feeling about this. I can sense na may tinatago si Cris sakin ngayon… di kaya?

 

(Jus?)

“Cris… kung… kung sakali sinagot mo na si Miguel or si Luki… sasabihin mo naman sakin diba?”

(Eh? Ah, of course…)

“That’s good to know. Always be honest with me Cris ok? Wag ka maglilihim, kahit iniisip mo masasaktan mo ako. Mas masakit sakin na naglilihim ka”

(G-Ganun ba? Si-sige… Promise…)

“Cris, may kailangan ka bang sabihin sakin?”

(A-Ano… kita nalang tayo bukas)

“Sige. Sunduin kita ng mga 11”

(W-Wag na. Darating kasi parents ko today kaya ayaw ko lumayo. Kita nalang tayo sa park, sa dating park para agad rin ako makauwi)

“Osige.Bye. I love you”

(Bye…)

 

Alam ko na Cris… alam ko na.

 

Masakit tanggapin pero siguro kasalanan ko rin.

 

Kung sana… kung sana nung time na nagconfess siya sakin agad ko siya sinagot noon edi sana Masaya na kami ngayon…

 

“A-a… ka-kasi…. Ma-ma! I-i… I LOVE YOU! >///////////<”

 

That time na sinabi niya sakin, I was left speechless.

 

Hindi ko alam irereact ko nun pero sa loob ko, Masaya ako. Masayang Masaya pero alam ko hindi dapat kasi kasama ko si EM…

 

Tas the day I asked her out…

 

(Flashback)

 

“Cristin, alam mo naman na mahal ko si Ellen diba?” I saw her nod “So why confess when you know I can’t return your feelings for me. Cristin, the thing is... I love you as well..” I don’t have the guts to say that out loud.  “Sigh. I treat you as my dear friend. My bestfriend. And I don’t want to ruin what relationship we have right now. And I don’t want this confession to ruin my relationship with Ellen” hindi ko dapat sinaktan siya noon. Mahal kita Cristin pero kay Ellen na ako…“What I said back then, ung sabi ko taken na puso ko. Was that the reason why you cried? Silence means yes. So it was my fault. I’m sorry Cristin. Pero hangang kaibigan lang pwede tayo. But I want you to know that you are important to me. You’ve help me a lot. I’m really sorry”
